Types of News Consumers

I remember that as soon as I read the little box about types of news consumers in the textbook I did not really understand where I fit in. It is true, I mostly fit under The Disengaged, but only because I can not specify which type of media I use more since I hardly ever consume news in a constant fashion for long periods of time. The only part of the definition I really fit under is that I am uninformed about current events.

However, I do not feel like I am completely "disengaged." Also, it is not that I am not interested in news, it is just that I am lazy. There is really no excuse for being an uninformed citizen but somehow I can not help myself, which is quite silly honestly considering I want to be a print journalist. I go through periods of time where I start the day by reading the Times just for idealistic reasons, and I hope that since I have started that back up again for this class the habit will stick this time.
